Why do you continue to crank the AC unit and waste all of your hard earned
money on energy bills? Instead, utilize alternate ways of cooling your
home that you might’ve not thought of. Doing so can save your money
and increase the lifespan of your
HVAC system.

Sun Block When the sun is shining its bright rays of sunshine into your home it’s
actually increasing the temperature of that room. To avoid this, install
a set of blinds and sun blocking curtains; darker colors work best. Focus
more on the west side of your home because the sun will be peaking through
these windows during the hottest times of the day.

Appliance Itinerary Household appliances use a lot of energy which results in a lot of excess
heat released into your home. Appliances such as ovens, clothes dryers,
and dishwashers will all increase the temperature in your home. Save your
daily chores that involve these appliances for the cooler times of the
day, like after the sun goes down.

Whirlwind of Air While ceiling fans don’t generate cool air they do help circulate
any cool air that is in the house. Whether your windows are open or your
AC unit is at a higher temperature, the ceiling fan is the perfect compliment.
Set it to spin in a counterclockwise direction so the cool air will blow
downwards.
